What differs, and by how much

Different wording The two terms share 布森林 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 布列敦森林; on the Mainland it is 布雷顿森林 - both point at “Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA, location of the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 布列敦森林、布雷頓森林 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.

Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.

Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
